The Hall of the Diamond Queen

‘Wraith Queen Sharrow Met, servant of the Voice, discovers a terrible truth at the moment of greatest victory.’

‘Welcome to the Slab. A vast orbiting slum where rats grow big and sweat falls in rain. There’s a stranger in town, a stranger with claws and a penchant for killing assassins. Finding him is the job of Inspector Alex McLeod, detective, disfigured war veteran and reluctant widower. Some days are worse than others on the Slab but today is going to be a gem.’
